Friendship Card

Alright, so I created this card in hopes of nailing two birds with one stone, but I have missed that boat. :( I used polka dot paper in order to participate in the Cute Card Thursday challenge last week...but since I missed that deadline, we'll just pretend that wasn't my goal, OK?

However, the sketch I used was from Mojo Monday, and I'm still good there! So, see my pretty Mojo Monday sketch in use??? Isn't it lovely?



Yes, that is the DCWV "Sorbet" paper stack again. It's no secret, I'm in love! I did add some cardstock and a few other goodies from CTMH, though. The inside reads: "Life is nothing without friendship"...and that is true.

Card measures 5" X 6.5".

Enjoy!

Cupcake Trinket Box

Okay, so this has to be one of the cutest things I've ever made! A little cupcake box - really! This is the first one I've made...so I have some tweaking to do to make it perfect, but still...very adorable!



The whole lid comes off to reveal some sweet treats waiting inside...just not cake.

I used DCWV's "Sorbet" paper stack again...I really do love that paper! With the lid on, the cupcake measures about 3" wide and just under 3" tall (including the flower on top).

To add dimension to the cupcake "base", I ran the paper through a paper crimper and then added fun borders with specialty scissors my hubby bought me a while back (but I rarely use them, so he was happy to see them in hand).

Enjoy!

Mini Easter Basket with cards

This cute little creation holds 5 mini scalloped cards. I've had this project in my "to do" file for a long time, too. I thought this would be perfect for Easter, so I figured I'd give it a whirl!

The basket measures approximately 2" X 2" X 3.5" tall. Each of the cards measure about 1.5" X 1.75". Very tiny and very cute.



I used DCWV's newer paper stack, Sorbet. I love those colors and the fact that half of the papers have glitter on them! Can we say "Fun!"? I added some CTMH cardstock, ink, and stamps, though.

Enjoy!

The LIP - LO

My younger daughter, Ceryse, used to keep that bottom lip just a little bit pouty when she was very little. It started when she was only about a month old and lasted up until around 22 months. She has finally outgrown it, but is still extremely good at pouting and making your heart melt.

Funny (and true) story...when she was 4 months old we were at the Dr's office for her shots and check-up. The nurse actually got teary-eyed and even let a tear or two fall because Ceryse's little lip and pouty face just got to her. She had been a nurse for quite some time before, too, so this wasn't her first rodeo...and usually the kids didn't get to her, but she said Ceryse was just so pathetic looking she couldn't help but get a little "misty" over it.



That face, I just love it...but I may a little partial. ;)

Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Coupons

I have had this card box in my "gotta make" file for a LONG time! I actually had forgotten all about it until I went digging through my stash trying to find something unique and fun for the big "V" day.



The box, closed, looks just like a box of cards...OK, well, a little fancier than a regular box of cards. :) It measures about the same, too, if not exactly. It is 3.5" tall, 2.5" wide, and .75" thick.



I made 5 little "love coupons" to go inside that match. Is that not cute, really?



The coupons are "G" rated, just in case they end up going to kids or maybe even just a friend to cheer up. :) Three of the coupons are blank, though, so you *could* get a little naughty with them...if you so desire.



I had a blast creating this little gift set and look forward to creating all kinds of other versions of it.

The color scheme for this was inspired by Cute Card Thursday's challenge for 1/14...I know, I'm late again. It was to create something using a pink and grey color scheme. I never pair those colors together, so this was a good "out of my ordinary box" project for me.

Enjoy!

I love squirrels card

This cute little card was for a friend of mine. It is an inside joke between a few of us...so it got quite the reaction when she opened it. Everyone got a great laugh.



Gotta love those cuties, right?

Enjoy!

Days of Miracle and Wonder LO

I love this picture. Syndel was so excited to have her baby sister around and more able to interact with her. I caught this picture just in time to capture the true joy in her little face. How precious! Now that they're older, I see less and less of that particular joy...especially when they're fighting over a toy or the whole "She is touching me, Mom!" situation. :)



That saying truly captures it...and I love it.

The paper is from CTMH, 'Paper Garden'...which to my knowledge is still available.

Enjoy!
